Daily Paintings, Small Oil Paintings, Animal and Bird Paintings

I was looking at some of my images and was really surprised to see how many bird and animal paintings I have done.  I thought today would be a good day to post a few of my old time favorites.

It is always interesting and educational to review the painting journey that you have been on.  I like to line up older paintings, chronologically, which helps me to see the improvements I have made and the ones I would like to make in the future.  Always an interesting exercise.

Have a painterly day and thanks for visiting!

From Canvas to Metal, by Carol Schiff

I am happy to announce that my work has been licensed and reproduced by All My Walls Inc., a manufacturer of metal wall decor.  I had no idea how they would use my images as they didn't seem to fit in with the rest of their products.  After many months, they finally sent me images of the finished products.  I am posting just a few samples for you.

1/2 PRICE SALE ON DAILY PAINTINGS

Today, I am posting a few more of my daily paintings that are available at my Etsy site for 1/2 Price!
The sale is running for the rest of the month of November.  At the end of the month, any remaining paintings will be returned to their original price. Some of these works were already on sale and the 1/2  off price is off the original sale price, which makes them VERY inexpensive at the moment.

This is just a sample of the 45 paintings left as I write this.  Don't miss this wonderful opportunity to give a really special gift.

I can frame your choice in a custom made wood frame and send it to you, ready for the wall.  If you comment below and express this choice, I will contact you with additional information.  I will also wrap your choice and send it direct to your loved one with a note from you, if you so desire.

"Sea Drifter" 16x20" Oil, Boat Painting, SOLD and Studio Sale

The painting I am featuring today is a commission piece.  My wonderful client sent her husband's photographic images to me and asked that I use them as reference.

SOLD

I worked with a palette knife and tried to capture the spirit of the scene.  The image she sent me was so beautiful.  I was thrilled when she expressed her approval.

On another note, I am running my first ever half price sale on some of my  small daily paintings on my Etsy site, here.  The paintings are selling fast,  so THINK CHRISTMAS!  The sale ends November 30th and any remaining paintings will return to full price.  Below are a few of the many available.

Daily Painting, Original Oil, "Pelican Portrait" 8x6" SOLD

Here it is FRIDAY and PELICAN WEEK is quickly drawing to a close.

SOLD

Today, I am posting several of my favorite pelicans from the past.  This guy was hanging out at a fishing pier, waiting for a chance to get lucky with a fisherman's catch.

SOLD

This group looked like they were out on patrol.......maybe looking for unlucky mullet or possibly chasing the herons away.

SOLD

I found this one, early one morning, hanging out at the Eau Gallie Yacht Club.  So, of course, I called this painting "Just hanging out".

And now, one more..............

SOLD

Hey!!!  WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING HERE?????!!!!???

Isn't that just like a couple of gulls to barge in where they don't belong!

I am taking the weekend off, to celebrate the holiday, so I will see you Tuesday for the final post of PELICAN WEEK.........NO GULLS ALLOWED!

Cards, cards and more cards

I have always admired artists who show their work on note cards, so I finally decided to take the plunge myself.

I wanted the cards to be of very good quality.

I decided that I wanted to use glossy photographs instead of a card with a printed image.

I had a hard time choosing the paintings I wanted to feature.

I finally decided on these five images.  The cards are blank  with plenty of room to write a message.

The 5x7" cards may be purchased in my Etsy store, either individually or as a set.  When you purchase a set, you save $4.00 off the price of purchasing individually.  I will sign the front or back of the cards, if you desire and as an added bonus, the photos may be removed and reused. They are on quality natural card stock with matching envelopes.

Hope you like them!

INTERCOASTAL EVENING, 6X8, OIL, Daily Painting

This is another painted from my recent photo shoot on the intra-coastal.

It was getting late in the afternoon and although the sun was bright, it was low on the horizon and quickly disappeared.

It was a gorgeous day.  The kind of day that Floridians feel is pay-back for the hot sultry summer months.

Enjoy your day!

"MUFFINTOP" 5x7, OIL,SOLD

This may be a cupcake, but it has a real "muffintop".  Guess I got a little carried away when I was pouring batter into the pan.  Possibly it was because I always go for the largest one.  You could even say I have a slight "muffintop" myself.  Got to go, I think there is still one left in the kitchen.

Purchase here
SOLD

BERRIES AND BANANA, 11X14, OIL, SOLD

This painting is a companion piece to  one that I did a month ago which featured blueberries, strawberries and kiwi slices. 

This is the original painting.  I had so much trouble getting two images in this post in the place I wanted it to be.  It was almost more time consuming than completing the paintings.  I love Blogger, but every time I think I know what I am doing, they seem to change something! 

I guess what they say about "old dogs" is true!

Purchase one or both of these here.

SOLD
